This paper has reported on the performance, in the range between room and liquid nitrogen temperatures, of a Gouy-type magnetic balance, which had been constructed for absolute measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of paramagnetic salts. As a magnetic field, we used a highly homogeneous permanent magnet which was easily movable by hand. Therefore, precise measurement of the susceptibily is possible. With this balance, the susceptibility of 10−5c.g.s. units was measurable within a range of error of 5%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
